Introducing Harmonize

Harmonize is a new six-level lower secondary English language

course Its unique methodology with integrated projects provides opportunities for students to use language in a real-life context and work collaboratively towards project outputs and presentations The availability of six levels allows for flexible entry and exit, based on each school’s needs The key course

features, which include engaging videos in every unit, Project

Log, Culture 360° pages and Online Practice, enhance students’

language-learning experiences Project work is supported through

the Project coach videos.

Material in Harmonize employs the latest research in second

language acquisition, and incorporates feedback from practising teachers.

Harmonize key values

Transform your classroom into a collaborative learning environment

Harmonize integrates projects into every unit, motivating students

to work together towards a common goal and learn language and skills they can apply to other contexts Projects give students the opportunity to develop skills beyond language learning for lifelong

success, with tasks that encourage mediation, communication and collaboration

Spark students’ creativity as they research, develop and deliver their projects

Students define the direction of their project work, creating unique projects that are shaped by their own values, interests and creative

skills The Project Builders provide step-by-step project tasks

throughout the unit, encouraging students to build their project in manageable stages.

The Project Log provides a unique, fun and creative space for

students to develop ideas, reflect on their projects, celebrate their successes, and evaluate their progress.

Connect learning with the world outside the classroom with meaningful topics, tasks and videos.

Project tasks help students communicate in English in real-life contexts Through their project work, students explore languages and other cultures whilst developing respect for difference and diversity Students present their final projects in a variety of formats such as a poster, blog, video, or web page.

Content-rich texts and videos, including the Project coach, provide

students with relevant real-world content and realistic language models which keep them engaged with their learning

Online Practice helps students to become competent

autonomous learners by providing them with online skills practice and activities to complete in their own time

Harmonize methodology

Integrated project methodology

Harmonize has an integrated project methodology, which is a

student-centred form of learning that involves students exploring and attempting to solve real-life problems Project-based learning is an important vehicle for the development of global skills for the 21st century, including digital literacies.

The projects in Harmonize contain a number of essential elements,

• A challenging problem or question

• Audience-facing output task

• Key knowledge and skills

• Sustained inquiry

• Authenticity

• Student voice

• Reflection

• Critique and revision

The advantages of a project-integrated approach

Harmonize aims to capture students’ imaginations and inspire

learning with project-based learning and real-world topics A high level of engagement is achieved when learners find project goals meaningful and relatable, and this can in turn lead to deeper levels of learning Outcomes include improved language skills, transferable project skills, and much better retention of learning

How the project-integrated approach works

in Harmonize

In each of the eight main units, students work in small groups

towards a final project Each lesson culminates in a Project Builder task, recorded in the Workbook Project Log, which builds towards

the final project presentation The language systems (vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation) are not taught in isolation, but through the four skills as students work through the projects This empowers students to communicate with confidence and inspires them to take responsibility for their own learning

The syllabus has been developed across all six levels in consultation with teachers so that teachers can choose the entry level to the course based on students’ learning needs.

Skills development

Skills work is supported in Harmonize through a strong focus on

strategies Skill UP! sections give detailed information on specific

strategies, providing students with tips to help them apply these strategies inside and outside the classroom In addition to the

Skill UP! strategies for Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing

there are also Video focus tips for working with video, Life skills, and Project skills tips to help students with their final presentation

of their project work.

Each unit of Harmonize has two core vocabulary sets, which are

generally topic-based In addition, there are functional language phrases on the Speaking pages and additional Key phrases in the Project spreads at the end of each unit These elements make up the ‘core vocabulary’ for all students to learn.

For students who can cope with a more extensive vocabulary list, there are Extra vocabulary sets in some units These may come from the unit opener vlog, or reading or listening texts, and are also practised in the Workbook.

The two core vocabulary sets are presented in context on the Student Book page and followed up with practice tasks.

The Language summary pages in the Workbook list all core and

extra vocabulary from the units.

The Workbook has additional graded vocabulary practice in each unit, and the review pages provide cumulative practice of the grammar and vocabulary from the unit through exam-style tasks Worksheets for vocabulary practice at three levels (Basic, Standard

and Challenge) are available on Oxford Hub.

Trang 10

Listening is an important part of language development and

can help improve oral production Harmonize gives students

opportunities to practise listening in a realistic way Four of the eight listening lessons are video-based, so students can watch and listen as they would in real life There is a variety of video genres, including vlogs, TED-talk style videos and documentaries In addition to this, four of the listening lessons are based around listening extracts.

Each unit has:

• a video or listening comprehension on the Listening pages

• two other videos per unit, on the Warm-up page and Speaking lessons.

These provide lots of opportunities for students to practise their listening skills as they work through the projects.

Speaking activities in Harmonize provide students with many

opportunities to practise accuracy and fluency and to develop

their competence in linguistic communication The Warm-up page presents the unit topic through a vlog and encourages students to

activate language connected to the topic and project Throughout the course, discussion tasks require students to give their own

opinion on a subject, or to relate a personal experience Think tasks

give students an opportunity to discuss in pairs and apply critical

thinking skills The Project Builders offer opportunities for students

to practise the language they have learned while developing their project ideas.

The Speaking pages present and practise useful functional

language from everyday contexts The functional language is

modelled in context in the drama video first before students are guided through a range of tasks

Pronunciation tips also feature at different points in four of the

units and focus on specific sounds, word stress, sentence stress and intonation.

Eight communicative Speaking pairwork worksheets in the Teacher’s Resource Materials offer additional speaking practice with practical outcomes.

There is one page in every unit devoted to guided Writing activities Writing tasks cover a variety of text types, such as emails, articles, video scripts and reports, which relate to the unit project A model text provides a clear example of structure and uses target language from the unit The model text also exemplifies a language point, such as time expressions, conjunctions or punctuation The Writing

Skill UP! also gives specific tips to aid writing skills The writing

page Project Builder includes a carefully staged writing task that links to the final project The Project Log provides a writing task

Planner and a space for students to draft their writing.

The Writing workshop pages in the Workbook also use a model

text, useful language and a carefully staged Writing task to allow students to practise writing a number of different genres The

Online Practice contains further Writing tasks.

Blended learning

Learning materials in Harmonize are provided in a variety of formats

This is to cater for the wide range of learning needs modern teachers are faced with and ensures maximum flexibility with regard to presentation and practice options Lesson presentations

can be teacher-led in class using the Classroom Presentation

Tool, or students can investigate content at home before the

lesson via the Student Book e-book and Workbook e-book, or use the Online Practice for further practice after the lesson

Mediation is integrated in the course through targeted practice in the Student Book.

The approach to grammar in Harmonize is based on the Oxford

English Learning Framework (OxELF) grammar syllabus, which recommends at which level to teach each grammar point for the first time, ensuring that grammar acquisition is accessible to learners

Each unit of Harmonize has two main grammar points New

structures appear in context in a reading or listening text so that the teacher can follow a guided discovery approach to grammar Teachers can also present the new structure using

the Grammar animation or Powerpoint presentation on the

Classroom Presentation Tool

The grammar explanation can be reinforced through the inductive grammar rules on the page, followed by short contextualized tasks Expanded grammar tables, explanations and further essential

practice can be found in the Grammar reference section at the

back of the Student Book Students are also encouraged to practise

the grammar more freely in the Project Builder tasks

The Workbook has additional graded grammar practice in each

unit, and the review page provides cumulative practice of the grammar and vocabulary from the unit via exam-style tasks

Grammar tables are also included in the Language summary

pages in the Workbook

Worksheets for grammar practice at three levels (Basic, Standard

and Challenge) are available on Oxford Hub

Video is integral to Harmonize There are two or three videos in

the main Student Book unit The unit begins with the vlog on the

Warm-up page, which introduces students to the topic and some key vocabulary In four of the eight Listening lessons in the Student Book, there is a video offering listening comprehension practice through a range of engaging vlogs, presentations and dialogues – reflecting the way modern teenagers listen and watch in real life

The Video focus feature in these lessons encourages students to

consider the different ways in which effective videos are made The

video on the Speaking page engages students with an episode

featuring recurring characters and introduces key functional language.

Harmonize includes a wide range of text types, including articles,

web pages, stories, emails and interviews All texts are carefully graded and engage students in a realistic way Reading texts are used in different ways throughout the book:

• To preview and recycle grammar: the main text in each unit is used to preview the new grammar points, increase students’ exposure to recently presented vocabulary and sometimes preview new vocabulary.

• To develop reading strategies: the Skill UP! presents a reading

strategy tip to help students build reading skills and is followed by a relevant practice activity.

• To practise reading skills: a wide variety of comprehension activities accompany each text along with further

comprehension practice in the Online Practice.

Shorter texts appear throughout the course to recycle and practise grammar and vocabulary, to provide a writing sample and to set the context for listening or speaking tasks.

To help students with reading, look at the background information notes in the Teacher’s Guide so that you can pre-teach vocabulary if necessary, and pre-empt any difficulties The Reading lesson

in the Workbook provides further practice of the Skill UP!,

comprehension exercises, and contains examples of the unit grammar Further reading tasks are also included in the

Online Practice.

How to do project work

Harmonize has project work at the heart of its approach to

language learning In each unit, the language input and practice contributes to five project stages (Project Builders 1–5), and the final project lesson of each unit brings all the project work together – usually in a group presentation The Project Builders encourage groups to be cooperative, creative and inclusive of ideas and are carefully constructed to make the final project presentation achievable and engaging There is an in-built flexibility that allows the projects to be relevant and productive in all classroom situations, but it is true to say that managing project work in the classroom is not always straightforward.

Setting up project groups

We recommend that projects are completed in groups of three students They are designed so that, in one unit, the same group of students works on the five Project Builders and the final presentation together There are eight projects in the book so the teacher is able to organize students into groups in different ways The teacher can learn from the successes of student groups from one unit to the next It’s useful to have a close look at the nature of the unit project before deciding how to group students.

Student choice or teacher choice?

The teacher can try both It’s important for students to learn to work effectively with a range of people, whether it is with their close friends or others It’s good to learn to overcome distractions and be productive when working with friends, but choosing groups randomly can be a good option too It may be necessary to stress to the students the importance of learning to work in a successful group and that the skills required for success can be very different to completing work individually Through the course, students will develop a range of skills such as negotiation, listening skills, cooperation, and constructive criticism, and it is useful for them to be aware of this at the outset.

Group by ability?

A group with different abilities in it can often work well especially if the project requires a broad range of creative skills that are not heavily dependent on linguistic ability But the teacher will need to make sure that a strong student does not dominate the project group, and that all students partake equally.

Sometimes it is useful to group students by similar ability levels Stronger students working together can push each other to challenge themselves and create a higher level of work A group of weaker students can benefit from the support of a teacher more easily.

Group by interests?

For some projects, especially those that rely on strong personal opinions or tastes, it may work well to group students by interests Otherwise, if students have vastly differing interests it may make it difficult to agree on topics and it could end up with some students becoming disengaged.

Assigning roles?

The projects will make it clear what is expected of each group and the roles they might take It is useful, however, for each group to have a project monitor or coordinator who is responsible for making sure that the group work is completed at each stage and the Project Logs are also completed They could also be responsible for keeping an eye on the time during tasks.

The teacher should keep in mind that groups do not always work well together It is sometimes worth changing a group, even after a few lessons Swapping some students may improve the experience and quality of the projects for the groups.

Organizing group work in the classroom

How long should the project work take?

The Project Builders vary but the expectation is that the project work should be done in around 15 minutes, typically, at the end of a lesson The final project lesson is likely to take a whole lesson, with some of the presentations perhaps taking place in a subsequent lesson Before students start their group work, it is important to make sure they are clear about their task and how long they have The teacher could give them some tips on using their time effectively Some Project Builders involve small amounts of research to be done individually outside the classroom Students need to know that it is important to do this work and to come to each lesson prepared so that their group can progress with the project.

Should students always speak English?

This will depend on the level of the students and also the demands of the task There may be times when the practical aspects of the project are much easier to organize in the students’ own language Most of the Project Builders expect the use of English because language from the lesson should also be activated In the final project lesson of each unit, there is always a focus on specific functional language which enables students to carry out their work as a group.

What should the teacher do during project work?

The teacher should use the time to circulate from group to group They should ensure that groups are focused on the task It may be necessary to encourage some of the quieter students to take part and make sure that more confident students are taking ideas from the whole group The teacher should find opportunities to praise individuals and teams on both the content of their work and their approach to teamwork From time to time, it may be useful to stop the class to draw attention to exemplary work from one of the groups that the rest of the class may find useful It may even be useful to stop all the groups except for one so the class can observe some good examples of collaboration in a particular group.

Feedback and output stages

The teacher should try to build in a feedback stage after the final project lesson so that the groups can share any aspects of their work that went well By the end of the unit, students will have put a lot of work into their projects, so it is recommended that the teacher allows time for each group to present their work and for students to critically appraise each other’s work.

Trang 12

Assessment for learning

• It allows teachers to teach more inclusively By providing more tailored support to individual students, teachers can feel more confident that no one is being left behind.

• It enables colleagues to support each other Assessment for learning offers a consistent approach which teachers and their colleagues can implement collaboratively.

How can I implement Assessment for learning in my teaching?

Effective implementation of Assessment for learning is grounded in three key classroom practices: diagnostics (where the learner is), learning objectives (what the learner needs to learn next), and success criteria (what success looks like) These practices are interrelated and, together, lay the foundations for effective feedback.

The next section explains the three key practices in more detail.

Diagnostics

To be able to provide effective feedback, teachers need to find out what students already know and can do Teachers can gather this evidence through classwork and homework activities, including those that incorporate peer and self-assessment.

For instance, after a speaking activity, students could assess their own and each other’s performance using a set of can-do statements This, combined with the teacher’s assessment, can reveal what students are already doing well and highlight specific areas for improvement.

Classroom dialogue can also provide valuable insights into students’ understanding and there are a number of ways to maximize its potential as a diagnostic tool These include:

• short warmer activities.

• asking students open questions that require deeper reflection.

• allowing plenty of thinking time.

• exploring their answers through follow-up questions.

• providing opportunities for them to ask questions themselves.

Learning objectives

Determining what students already know through diagnostics enables teachers to identify appropriate learning objectives Learning objectives tell students what they are learning in a lesson and why This helps them understand the rationale and value of particular activities, making learning relevant Teachers may choose to present the Lesson objectives at the beginning of each lesson in

Harmonize to help with this.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

• Understand the importance of balanced diets

• Learn food vocabulary

• Talk about quantity

However, it can also be effective to wait until after an activity and then ask students to infer for themselves what skills the activity was aiming to develop, why these might be useful and how they might be applied.

What is Assessment for learning?

Assessment for learning, also sometimes known as continuous assessment, is an approach that builds formal and informal assessment practices into everyday classroom activities to directly encourage learning It is recognized by educators around the world as a way of improving students’ performance and motivation and promoting high-quality teaching.

Assessment for learning relies on a constant flow of information between teachers and their students Students provide evidence of their knowledge, understanding and skills as they engage in learning activities Meanwhile, they receive specific and constructive feedback on their performance and progress, which helps them to move forward in their learning This creates an ongoing cycle of gathering information, identifying next steps and supporting learners to achieve the set objectives.

In an Assessment for learning approach, it does not need to be only the teacher who gathers and interprets evidence about what students know and can do Students are also encouraged to do this for themselves and for each other through self-assessment and peer assessment This helps deepen their understanding of what they are learning, why they are learning it, and what successful performance looks like.

The evidence gathered for Assessment for learning does not always need to be in the form of grades or scores Often, a warm-up activity will give quick insights that will then inform the rest of the lesson or a teacher will offer a brief comment about a student’s performance on a particular task It should not focus only on aspects that students need to improve It is just as important to highlight what students have achieved and are already doing well It can therefore be useful to focus feedback on ‘medals’ and ‘missions’ – what they have done successfully and how they can move their learning forward.

Once students have received feedback, they need time and opportunities to act on it It is by putting feedback into action that students can ‘close the gap’ between their current performance and their desired performance So, for example, after students have received feedback on an essay, teachers could set aside lesson time for students to redraft their work and/or set specific goals for their next essay.

Why is Assessment for learning useful?

For students:

• It improves attainment Receiving quality feedback has a positive impact on students’ achievement.

• It deepens learning Students understand not only what they are learning but also why they are learning it and what success looks like.

• It is motivating Assessment for learning emphasizes progress rather than failure, encouraging students to set goals, recognize their achievements, and develop positive attitudes to learning.

• It prepares students for lifelong learning By making students more responsible and self-aware, it equips them to learn independently and proactively in the future.

For teachers:

• It informs teaching decisions Assessment for learning provides valuable information about students’ needs, allowing teachers to decide what to prioritize in their teaching.

• It develops skills and confidence Assessment for learning can encourage more flexible and creative approaches to teaching and give teachers a clear sense that they are helping their

How can teachers use Assessment for

learning with Harmonize?

Assessment for learning is compatible with different approaches to language teaching, from grammar-based to project work The

teaching notes for Harmonize highlight opportunities for teachers

to gather information, identify next steps for students and support them to achieve the set objectives In addition, there is a Reflect task at the end of each unit of the Student Book and the Reflections Log in the Workbook, which encourage students to spend time considering skills acquired during their project work and also areas

Success criteria

In order for students to make sense of learning objectives, these need to be linked to clear success criteria If students understand and recognize what successful performance looks like, they will be better able to set clear goals, make use of feedback, and measure their own progress This Teacher’s Guide contains many useful tips that suggest ideas about how to agree objectives and establish

success criteria for the Harmonize projects.

One useful approach is to discuss success criteria with the students For instance, if they are learning to write a formal email, the teacher could elicit the key features of a successful formal email and why those features are important The teacher can then add in any key ideas they have missed

Giving and analysing examples of what good writing looks like is another way of drawing out success criteria, and teachers can use

the model writing texts in Harmonize to help with this

Peer and self-assessment are also powerful ways of engaging students with success criteria For example, once students have written an email, they can send it to a classmate, who then gives feedback based on the agreed success criteria.

How is Assessment for learning different from other kinds of assessment?

Assessment for learning is often contrasted with assessment of learning (also called summative assessment), which measures the outcomes of learning by showing where students are at a given moment in time In reality, however, the two kinds of assessment can overlap For example, you might give your students a summative end-of-term test to measure their achievement If you then use their results as feedback on how they can improve, the same test can then become a tool for Assessment for learning

Is Assessment for learning a new approach?

In many ways, Assessment for learning reflects what most teachers have always done in the classroom Finding out what students can do and giving them feedback are, of course, fundamental and natural aspects of good teaching However, in an Assessment for learning approach, feedback is viewed as part of a continuous cycle of goal-setting and reflection, with each learning activity feeding into the next The Assessment for learning framework also supports you in providing feedback in a way that is systematic and inclusive.

• Learn about different diets and how we taste food • Predict a topic from photos

• Talk about rules and obligations, permission, ability and possibility

1 Are there any types of food you hate? What are they?2 Why do some people not like vegetables?

best topic 1–3 for the article.

5 Read the article again Does each sentence below describe supertasters (S) or non-tasters (N)? 1 They don’t have a gene called TAS2R38 2 They have more taste buds than other people 3 They don’t usually like broccoli or spinach 4 They like food with strong flavours

5 They sometimes avoid foods with a lot of sugar or fat

6 They often put salt on their food 6 THINK Discuss the questions.

1 Can you think of more examples of foods or dishes that

supertasters probably don’t like?

2 Which type of taster do you think you are? Why?

There are scientific tests to find out if you are a supertaster Find out about one of them online.

LookUP!

Supertaster! Do you hate the taste of spinach?

Scientists say about

25% of people are supertasters, 50%

of people are medium tasters, and another 25% of people are non-tasters The reason why some people don’t like vegetables

can be genetic Supertasters have a gene called TAS2R38 They have more taste buds than other people The taste of foods like chilli and bitter green vegetables is very strong to them Medium tasters are in the middle – they can taste bitter foods, but the taste isn’t very strong Non-tasters are the opposite of supertasters For them, vegetables like spinach aren’t bitter at all As a result, non-tasters prefer food with a strong flavour.So is it good to be a supertaster? There are some advantages: supertasters sometimes avoid unhealthy foods with a lot of sugar or fat – the taste is too strong But they also avoid green vegetables – and these have a lot of healthy vitamins Supertasters also often put salt on their food to stop the bitter taste – and a lot of salt isn’t good for you.

Maybe you’re a supertaster Do you always leave broccoli on your plate?

• Explain that students are going to play a board game.

• Brainstorm different board games with the class and write them on the board (e.g Monopoly, chess, snakes and ladders).

• Invite individual students to share their answers to the questions with the class.

• Make sure you have enough counters for each student If necessary, students could make their own with a bit of card and colour them You will also need one die per group If you don’t have any dice, then students can make simple number spinners

• Go through the instructions, pointing to the relevant squares.

• On the board, write different sentences to illustrate the types of questions in the squares, e.g.:

Complete the sentence with one word: My is Anna Correct the underlined the mistake: I is 12 years old Choose the correct answer: a I can run b I can running c I can’t running.

• Elicit answers from the class If necessary, do a couple more examples on the board.

• Show students the counters and dice Explain that they take turns to throw the dice, move the number of squares and answer the question on the square they land on They win one point for every correct answer and the winner is the first player to get 10 points.

• Pair yourself up with a student and take a turn each as an example for the class.

• Ask students to look at the titles on the board and tell you what they are (subject pronouns, prepositions of place,

classroom objects, possessive adjectives, can for ability, colours, possessive ’s, have got, school subjects)

• Depending on your class size, divide students into pairs or small groups to play the game Alternatively, divide the class into teams with yourself leading the game

• Tell students to ask you if they aren’t sure of the correct answers They should be able to do it themselves, so you could prompt rather than give the correct answer.

• Monitor as students play and help where necessary.

• Go through the answers as a class at the end, inviting different students for the answers.

How to do project work

Project extension ideas

To find out which of the topics for the level the students are really interested in, write the eight project titles on the board Tell students to individually write the top five they think are the most interesting Then divide them into pairs to discuss their choices and agree on a combined top five Finally, join two pairs together to compare their choices and agree on a group top five Ask each group to feedback their top five and justify their choices You could then have a class vote on the most interesting / enjoyable / unusual sounding project

Unit summary

• Write What is project work similar to? on the board Play the

video the whole way through for students to answer the question (making a cake).

• Pause the video at 00.20 and give students time to check the answers for question 1 in their Student Book.

• Ask students if they can suggest reasons why working collaboratively is good and then play the final section of

the video (Why is project work a good idea?) for students to

check their answer to question 2.

• Ask students what tips they remember from the video (Use time well Listen and give positive feedback Use the Project Logs Speak English Listen to other group’s presentations.)

• Put students into pairs to discuss question 3 and then conduct class feedback (e.g do different tasks to learn new skills, use the language from the unit to practise, help each other, ask questions, share your work with family, have fun)

• Ask students if they have any questions about the course or if anything isn’t clear.

• As students leave the class, ask what they think is most interesting about the new course.

If students enjoy the project, they could create a personal narrative video or podcast about their life Have a class discussion about interesting information they could include about themselves Play some examples of personal narrative videos and go through the key points Students then work in their group to plan, produce and record their video or podcast They could be uploaded for students to watch and think about who has the most similar / different life to their own.

Unit summary

The topic for this unit is My life By the end of the unit,

students should be able to describe confidently their favourite people and places, and to ask and answer personal questions when they meet someone new They should feel more comfortable about sharing personal information in groups; be able to write a well-organized, interesting personal profile; and understand the importance and usefulness of graphics to present information The final project is to create an infographic about

themselves and present it to the class This will consolidate all the language they have learned in the unit.

Introducing the topic for the unit

Read out the title of the unit and explain to students that this unit is all about their lives, including their friends and family and how to describe them and places they like to hang out Tell them that the project at the end of the unit is

to present an infographic: This is my life.

Identifying a real-life context for the topic

• Explain that students should write the names of the people who are important to them and very important to them on the cards They should also add who these people are It would be a good idea to demonstrate with a

few of your own, e.g My sister is my best friend, so her name goes here My football coach is important to me, but she goes here.

• Tell students not to share their Project Log with the group at this stage.

• Choose two students to read out the speech bubbles to model the key language.

• As an example, on the board write the name of a special person for you and encourage the class to ask you questions about him/her to guess the relationship If appropriate, you could show photos of some of your important people to encourage discussion.

• Tell the groups to share their Project Logs and to work out if family or friends are the most important.

• For homework, ask students to reflect on their important people and choose the person who is most special to them and record it in their Project Log.

• You could ask the group monitor to provide feedback on how well their group shared ideas and discussed the options and what could be done better next time.
